Q. How do I qualify for weight loss surgery?
A. To be considered a candidate for weight loss surgery, you must fit the criteria for severe or morbid obesity. In most cases, this means that you are at least 100 pounds over your ideal body weight and have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher. Another consideration is if you have serious health issues due to obesity, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or Type 2 Diabetes. Past attempts at medically supervised diets with little to no success is another qualification.
